The Jews believe the Old Testament
to have been diyinely inspired and to
embody the "true oracles OF God" but
they reject and Gisallow the claim Of the
New Testament 10 be the work Of d.
vine inspiration. They occupy middle
ground between psgans and Christians,
and cannot without rank injustice, be
classed with the HeatheDs. Christians
hold the Old Testament TO have been
the work Of divine inspiration. In this
respect, Christians and Je rvs are agreed.
Why, then, should Christian nations
have 50 cruelty and wantonly perseon,ed
the Jews for thousands Of years and de-
MED them the rights Of citizenship?
Most cl, arly this persecution was direct

oh. darling with the twilight eyes,
Thy We would form this lifB's conpletencs'
And make this earth u paradise.
Oh passion flower, rare and tender,
| would thy house was "n my breast;
Oh little VIII te-sOuled dove, surrender
And build within these arms thy nest.
Thy lips are sweeter than the roses;
Thy eyes are brighter than the stars;
Thy beauty all my soul encl0ses
A captive in its golden bars.
Ny Juliet whom love to madness,
Ny RIOS llind all wish and mrth,
My Viola all weary sadness,
My perfect one OF all the earth.
My heart is caught among the meshes,
And tangled in thy golden hair:
Thy laugh my tired soul refrcShes,
Oh! woman, so dOmily far.
Thou art so cold to outward seeming,
Thou art ms pure as Christmas snow;
Oh happy he shall wake thy dreaming,
And set thy girlish heart aglow.

OF deputies will on Saturday have to de-
eide the existing differences between
the budget committee and the cabinet.
M. Policeman will present the commit

rejection of the whole budget coupled
with the demand that the ministry de-
wise q new one. The issue solely con-
Germs the mode in which the deficlt of a
million sterling is to be met, 1t is esti-
mated that the expenditure is e120, 000,-
geo and the revenue the
same-g12O, 100000 sterling. MI.
Goblet, the premier, and NJ. Dauphin
both declare that no further retrench-
ment is possible, and that they must
have a new loan with increased taxation.
The committee persists that the minister
OF finance must depart from his theory
of economies and meet the deficits
The chamber will certainly support tho
committee, and M. Goblet must either
sacrifice NJ. Dauphin or the ministry
must resign. The gravity of the crisis
chiefly arises from doubt as TO the
position of Gen. Boulanger and M.
Flourons toward a new ministry
II Boulanger goes, the popular agitation
will be tremendous and the army thrown
into q state of chaos, II he remains in his
position he will become independent OF
